Exactly. The junk mail that's in my mailbox every day has more detailed information on the outside of the envelope. This is really a non-issue.

The major difference is that all the applications Apple bundles can be easily uninstalled/deleted without having any impact on the OS. If I don't like Safari.app, I can install Camino or any other browser, delete Safari and live happlily ever after. On Windows, I can use alternate browsers, BUT I can't delete IE without crippling the OS.
